March, 6th - Agape: ...how about a nice Boromir tale for my b-day? A moment with Pippin perhaps in Moria?

March, 14th - Elena Tiriel: I adore the usual suspects: Elves, Rohirrim, the sons of Elrond , Imrahil, Faramir... but also out-of-the-ordinary races, characters, viewpoints or situations....... A drabble (or ficlet or story or novel or artwork or doodle or play or song or..... anything Tolkien-y that tickles your muse) would be a real treat!

Or, do you possibly have some musical talent? I wrote a four-line sea chanty that I, *cough* "recorded" *cough*.... except, well, let's just say it sounds far more beautiful in my mind than what emits from my mouth. If you could take the recording and "transcribe" it into written music (and by "transcribe", I mean "clean it up", taking out all the cringe-worthy sour notes and embarrassing gasps for breath, and basically writing down what I meant, not what actually came out of my mouth.....) I'd be forever grateful! I'd love to include the actual musical notation in my author's notes -- with credit for the transcription to you, of course....

Re: March 2011 Birthday Cards

My (39-and-holding-on-for-dear-life)th birthday is coming up on March 14th, and I'd really love a drabble.... any drabble.... if only to prove to my chronically AWOL muse that Drabbles Are Delicious!

Re: March 2011 Birthday Cards

No problem, Barbara- it was fun slipping back into their mindset. One day I fear I will go the whole hog and write a Saga in verse about my story "Burning Son"... but until then, I hope you keep reading my works. ;)

Re: March 2011 Birthday Cards

Here, Elena Tiriel--a true drabble written for your birthday, if a bit late! Yesterday's offering for the B2MEM challenges.

The Land of their Dreams

As he followed their guide beyond the Mering Stream, Eorl surveyed the grasslands granted to him and those of his people who had followed him south from the valley of the Great River. Cirion of Mundberg had given these unto them in thanks for their aid against the enemies of the Stonelands? How perfect for his people and their needs!

And Felaróf nodded his own head in recognition that this was indeed what the two of them had dreamed of for so very long—a land of their own where each might reign for what remained of his life….

Re: March 2011 Birthday Cards

Larner, this is a beauty! I love the fitingly archaic language of Eorl of the Éothéod, and especially the hint that both he and Felaróf had dreamt of leading their respective peoples to the Promised Land.
